Meta’s Quest 2 VR headset is a great way for people to play games that can be physically demanding — so it’s no wonder that people are using the device to try and get fit.
The Quest 2 store is filled with sports games and fitness-focused experiences, all of which are vying for your attention. But how do you know which will become a part of your daily workout routine, and which will only be played once and then discarded — like that Ring Fit Adventure kit you’ve forgotten all about for the Nintendo Switch?
To find an answer to your question we’ve tried a wide range of Quest 2’s library of fitness games. Thanks to our testing, we’ve determined which games are best for those of you looking to keep and get active using VR. Here they are.
Not only is Beat Saber one of the best VR games out there, it’s also one of the best ways to get fit using a VR headset like the Quest 2.
Its addictive gameplay sees you slice red and blue blocks in time to popular music tracks, using dual laser swords; it’s like an aggressive version of Guitar Hero. You’re also forced to dodge around and under floating barriers that head your way.

Dance Central takes you and your friends to your own private club where you can choose exactly which songs you dance along to.
